Broken (Beautiful) Christopher Sligh

I watched the movie October Baby this evening and all I can say is “Wow!” This was a well-crafted, touching film. I would think it would be very healing for anyone involved in the adoption and / or abortion process. October Baby isn’t about pointing fingers of blame, but giving a realistic portrayal that is about forgiveness and hope. Well done!

After watching the movie, I got on iTunes and downloaded the soundtrack. One of the songs I particularly like is Christopher Sligh’s “Broken (Beautiful)”

Lyrics

We’re broken in two with love as an anchor
There’s nothing to do but give in, give in
Mirror less eyes give off a reflection
The moonlight is fair as we rise again

Oh, can we move on, can we move on
From the love we’ve left behind?
Oh, can we move on, can we move on
From the love we’ll never find?

We’re giving into sweet desperation
When all this is through, we’ll give in, give in
Channels of grace give off the aroma
Of love mixed with pain and hope raised again

Oh, can we move on, can we move on
From the love we’ve left behind?
Oh, can we move on, can we move on
From the love we’ll never find?

The world is broken in too many pieces
But the brokenness is beautiful, it’s beautiful
My heart is broken by beauty’s mysteries
But the brokenness is beautiful, it’s beautiful

Oh, can we move on, can we move on
From the love we’ve left behind?
Oh, can we move on, can we move on
From the love we’ll never find?

Yeah
The world is broken in too many pieces
But the brokenness is beautiful, it’s beautiful
My heart is broken by beauty’s mysteries
But the brokenness is beautiful, it’s beautiful
